Inverse Xref Clipping

Greetings!
A quick query about x-ref clipping. I'm wanting to clip an xref BUT I want the inverse to remain.
So when I make a clipping boundary I want the inside to disappear with the outside to remain. I used a workaround with this years ago with a polyline wrapping back around the outside with a marginally small gap between the returning lines to the outside. But this is slow and tedious drawing such a polyline.
I think I heard that inverse clipping was available now. I'm currently using ver 2007 (because we had h-u-g-e problems with 2008 and 2009 makes the machine chug) Is it possible to do such a clip?

Re: Inverse Xref Clipping

I'm a little new to the 2008 version. Is it possible clip an xref with an inverted clip AND a normal clip? I have an xref file that contains all of a jobsites embedded conduit, several hundred acres in size. I only want to see an area local to where I'm working but I would also like to use an inverted clip to clip out a piece that obstructs the area that I'm working on.
